Shivering cold
|
Cobblestone road
|
Slipping on diamonds and silver
|
|
A funeral for the leaves
|
A eulogy in the breeze
|
A hymn for the bones of winter
|
|
The geese have already
|
Buried their heads
|
And a full moon over mine
|
Tells me it's time
|
To start thinking about hibernation
|
|
First nap in the night
|
And the first crack in the ice
|
Of the pond
|
And the first lights of the season
|
|
When the children have already
|
Buried their heads
|
It's quiet, alone, cobblestone road
|
Waits for the first snow of December
|
|
A song for the dead leaves
|
The brine and the breeze
|
A poem for the bones of winter
|
